The Rum Diary
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
10/28/11 Very Good "...solid and entertaining..."
2.
Straw Dogs (2011)
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
09/16/11 Good (Not Great) "...not a bad movie, just one that is something less than Peckinpah's original."
3.
Cowboys & Aliens
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
07/29/11 Moderate "...tries hard with some exciting moments and beautiful scenery, but never comes together into a unified piece of filmmaking."
4.
Restrepo
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
08/06/10 Outstanding "...about a group of courageous, honorable young soldiers -- a salute these men richly deserve."
5.
The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010)
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
07/14/10 Very Good "Look, it's another wizard movie with demons, magic spells and a young man with amazing powers. Do we really need another graft from the 'Harry Potter' vine?Actually, yes, we do."
6.
Brooklyn's Finest
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
03/05/10 Moderate "...heavy shots of 'Training Day' intensity mixed with the fated spiritual connections of 'Crash,' then just a dash of 'Boondock Saints' street justice... the results are tough to swallow."
7.
The Wolfman
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
02/12/10 Moderate "...falls into that middling ground of horror film: neither scary enough to be exciting nor campy enough to be amusing.... fails to integrate those visual bells and whistles into an embracing story, which ultimately means it serves as good-looking window dressing to a mediocre main display."
8.
The Young Victoria
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
12/25/09 Good (Not Great) "If not for Blunt's solid performance and good support from Rupert Friend and others, 'The Young Victoria' would not be worth the price of the ticket."
9.
Invictus
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
12/11/09 Outstanding "What makes it special is Eastwood's ability to artfully and concisely tell a story, and Morgan Freeman's wonderfully understated turn as South African President Nelson Mandela."
10.
Watchmen
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
03/06/09 Moderate "...manages to assault the senses and bore the viewer at the same time."
